Love: A Father’s Eternal Passage

FatherGuidingLightQuote1Love is what I give to you.

The Love of a Father, which always kindles inside.  The love that will NEVER die, for it is eternal.

When you wish to feel my presence, just listen to the music of the masters.  You will feel me here for you know that music is my passion. Find the time to share your ideas.  Create for it is why we are here.  You SHALL find an abundance of love if you follow your passion.

I may not have always known how to express my love except for the only way I knew how.  Remember my nagging and whining for it is the way I knew how to express my love, my concerns and how I hoped you would hear me.

I left you with tools on how to survive.  This is what a father does, right?  I taught you to walk so you would know the way.

It is my duty to start you on your path, life’s journey.  This is what I know to do.

Forgive me if I lost each other at times but my work was essential and so I was tired.  I have only been a parent once in my life.  I guess I did the best I could.

Teach my grandchildren that there is nothing greater in life than love.  It is ALL you will take with you and not the material things.

Therefore, plant your seed and blossom for this you need to thrive.  It is the temple within you!

Remember to water along the way for strength, is sure to follow.

Share your journey along the way, it is I which WILL lead you, my light has not burned out.

Listen to your heart for I shall continue to grow with you here.  My physical being may not be here but my soul definitely continues to glow.

Listen to the music for you shall always find me here.

So, I leave you now but remember time does not exist.  Soon one day we shall be together for the light in front of me glows with glory!

We do what we think is best. We do as our parents would want for us to do.  Remember, we are human and we will wander into our destiny’s path, which is what we came to fulfill.  Life is difficult yet if we listen then we will always understand why and what we each came here for, after all each journey is different and we are here to learn from each other.  Our existence here is but a flash before our eyes, so make the best of it.  Your light within your heart will always glimmer, this is the eternal love a father leaves us with.  The light which will never burn.  As we continue in our life’s path remember, one day you too will leave your light behind to continue glowing. So set a good example of love so that we may all learn from this.

“My father is an angel that will always live on.  His souls existence continues to carry the light.  The light which he instilled in me.  The kindness, gentleness and unconditional love towards all of LIFE.  May God bless you always!”

To my father and all fathers, Happy Fathers Day!

Forces of Nature

Nature really is wonderful!  It never seizes to amaze me how a lizard can change its skin tone to blend in with the environment, camouflaging itself.

And how such things as gravity takes over no matter if we want it to or not.  It’s so much more overpowering that from it great inventions such as, electricity can be achieved from the power of water.

There is no doubt that the Forces of Nature are greater than us and that there has to be something greater than us to achieve such beauty and perfection!

Picuala

Picuala

is a vine which grows in tropical areas.  Known to Cubans as Picuala or Jasmin Manzano it is also known as the Rangoon Creeper.

It has the most beautiful flowers which turn from white in the morning to pink and finally red, or what I call magenta, as the sun comes up.  By evening, it remains this intense magenta.  The vine gives off this sweet intense scent of apples.  Although intense, the scent is pleasant.  If you are not careful, the vine will take over your entire yard, if you do not trim it weekly.  It is labor intensive, so get ready for a weekly workout, yet is worth the hard work for its reward is the multitude of colors, dark green leaves and its sweet aroma, which will be enjoyed as you sit in your garden.  It lasts all summer!

Christ the King

As 2014 comes to a close and we welcome a new year in the near horizon, I want to share with you a place that is dear and near to my heart.

As a child I was fortunate to travel quite a bit with my parents and my brother and so it seems the traveling became my passion as did the many places we visited and began to mark my love for architecture.  However, there is one place, my childhood school and the majestic cathedral we spent going to mass to every Sunday afternoon.  It was the folk mass I loved the most.  The choir and the organ pipes resonated and moved my soul, that it is no wonder this became part of my life journey.  Walking up the nave to the altar is such a sacred walk for me that when I recently visited my childhood home town, it brought back such great memories, not to mention that I visited with my dear childhood friend, which made it all the more memorable.

I can’t think of a more fitting way to close the year during such an important time as Christmas.  Celebrating the birth of Christ.  My personal sacred journey!  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!
